These cookies are super easy to make and will be the hit of any cookie exchange, holiday party or get together. Sure, you have to chill the dough with this recipe but it’s not very long and you’ll be making the frosting anyway. Since we’ll be making edible (eggless) cookie dough, it’s always safest to heat treat the flour that you’ll be using. Don’t worry, that’s easy too.
HOW TO HEAT TREAT FLOUR
If you are using raw flour in no bake desserts, such as this edible cookie dough frosting, you’ll want to heat treat the flour. According to the FDA, flour is considered unsafe to eat because of the potential to the presence of harmful microbes.There are two main ways to heat treat flour: oven or microwave.
HEAT TREATING FLOUR OVEN METHOD:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Spread two to three cups of flour on a baking sheet and spread out in a thin layer.
- Cook for 5 minutes. Let cool completely before adding the flour into the recipe.
HEAT TREATING FLOUR MICROWAVE METHOD:
- Place 2 – 3 cups of flour in a heat safe bowl.
- Microwave for 30 seconds at a time and stir after each segment.
- Heat flour for 1-2 minutes and the flour is at 160 degrees.
- Let cool completely before adding the flour into the recipe.
